Apologies to the admin forum first. I don't know where this question fit, but please move it to the right thread if their is one.

Okay, here is my question!!!

I am planning to plant few of banana plants next year. I will start 4 or 5 plants and see how well they do here in Ga. I am looking something dwarf variety cause i will planting them in 7- 10 gal. pots. I need to be able bring them in the basement for winter since i don't have a greenhouse.I want edible nanas for sure and grows/mature to 7-12 ft.

Any members here have experience this fruits and can share it with me, is most appreciated.

I have a hydroponic Dwarf Cavendish. I just got it about 3 weeks ago and transplanted it from soil so its kind of going threw some shock right now but it is already eating well and the new "cigar" leaf is growing out more and more so while its got some yellowing going on I expect it to recover fully.

I saw this ones parents when I got it and they were about 12-14 feet and in full bloom in a green house.

If I were to ever want to get another one it would without a doubt be Ice Cream.
